Which full windshield glass boat?

[PerchJerker]

A buddy of mine has a Skeeter 1880 with 200 HPDI, I've spent a bunch of time in that boat and like it a lot.

the price of the skeeter is much better than most brands, ranger is way overpriced.

Ranger dosen't have a boat that competes with that skeeter so if you compare it to a 619 then you are right, the 619 is more but it is also a foot longer and can handle a 225HP instead of "just" a 200. Now compare a 1950 to a 619 or the 2150 to a 620 or 621 and then you will see that the prices for an apples to apples comparison are right there with each other.

But yes, the 1880 is a great boat, I work with a guy that picked one up this year with a 150/T8 combo. A very nice boat that should be on anyones list if looking for a great glass fishing boat.

Wow, a 18 footer with a two-hundy on the back... that thing must fly!

They do.

If I recall correctly, on the Skeeter 1880's you can max it out with a 200 2-stroke or a 150 4-stroke.

Every one I've seen has a hydrofoil to help it get on plane and I'd guess that Knoppers does as well. Seems to be the standard way to set them up so that they run right.

take a look at the yar craft 186tfx or sx yar craft site on here has some good pics

put 150 e-tec on it you will have fast boat and no need to put any hydorofoil on it it will plane out with you never losing site in front of you

i know cuz i have a 150 on a 21 foot yar craft and mine planes

right out so on a smaller 18 ft you will no problem at all

you will have a great winnie boat for the 5-6 times you get up there plus a coool boat any where
